Start thinking you’re the best of both cultures and believe it! Confidence speaks volumes in attracting the opposite sex, so get rid of your limiting belief and know that you’re an awesome person that deserves the best in life. Good luck!

This sounds too familiar lol. Also came to the US when i was in high school, and for a very long time i struggled to identify my primary cultural alignment... too korean to hang with bananas and too american to hang with FOBs

Happily married for 5 years strong now, what it took for me was knowing its a numbers game. After countless introductions and meeting people, i somehow lucked into finding my soulmate just by chance at a mutual friends gathering. Keep trying friend, and keep your head high and dont get discouraged. She is out there

I've been in the same boat as well! I've been going to local Korean American meetups(school alumni, local cultural groups) to meet other 1.5 gen. Korean Americans. Also, I've been meeting people who have compatible/similar values even though they're not Korean or are culturally more 1st or 2nd gen.

Strive for excellence, my man. The women will follow.

Male or female?

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

Just made the conscious decision to go through cuffing season single and feeling proud of myself for not keeping on seeing someone just to have a date to go out with couple friends for the next few months 👏🏽

Biggest red flag (of a few I’ve noticed after only a couple of dates) was when he came over for dinner last night and acted weird around my dog and said, to my face, that dogs belong outside 😒 feels better to be single as a Pringle rather than being with someone like that.
